@Afam4eva, do you notice that our Benin entertainer appears to have just admitted that his bogus and baseless claim that Yoruba monarchs didn’t use “oba” in the pre-1900s have been debunked — Since he never dared to bring up the claim again anywhere in his foregoing ramblings.


Secondly, it is vital that you are made aware that despite his foregoing ramblings, he never adduced even one shred of pre-1900 statement which depicts the use of “oba” for Benin monarchs.

NOT A SINGLE ONE of the statements he dumped above as showing “oba” for the Benin monarch is from a pre-1900 work. Not one!

——————————
For example, a part of his above comment reads:

“In the early 16th century, the Oba sent an ambassador to Lisbon ...”.

However, this precise wording — which he has lifted off Wikipedia — is simply not found in the original work itself.

Moreover, the actual work itself does not use the word “oba”, but instead uses the word “king”.

The original wording from the actual work actually reads as follows:

“... And the King of Beny sent to the King (of Portugal) as Ambassador a negro ...”

Reference: Ruy de Pina’s “Chronica”; Chap. xxiv., Discovery of Beny, quoted in H.L. Roth, 1903, pp. 4-5.

This may make one actually wonder why such an early and quite primary writing on Benin does not use the word “oba” for a Benin monarch.

Moreover, another part of the same comment reads:

“Given this characterization of the Benin culture, it might be understood that the Oba did not accept any colonial aspirations. As soon as the Oba began to suspect Britain of larger colonial designs, ...”.

These exact words as they appear here from his comment were also lifted off Wikipedia from where they are referenced (not even as a quotation) to a year 2010 work — a freaking year 2010 work by Neil MacGregor entitled “A History of the World in 100 Objects”

In all, our Benin entertainer has been disgraced not only as a disgruntled ignoramus, but also as a fraud.

I am more than convinced at this point that, you and everyone else reading now know better to not take any of their bogus, baseless, grandiose claims seriously.

Notice that he has just made other fresh and independent baseless claims (on Yoruba history) in his foregoing comment as a distractive tactic.

I refuse to be distracted into another false and baseless Benin propaganda. I am also aware that everyone now knows better to not take his sorry ass seriously any more.

In sum:
(1) Our Benin entertainer has been debunked over his claim that Yoruba monarchs didn’t use “oba” in the pre-1900s.

(2)(i) Our Benin entertainer is yet to provide one pre-1900 written evidence of “oba” for Benin monarchs.

(2)(ii) Or to be more in line with his own specific claim, he has failed repeatedly to provide one “600 years” old written evidence of “oba” for Benin monarchs.

It is my pleasure to have disgraced him before all and sundry. Going forward, he must be reluctant to peddle lies. He has learnt the hard way.

Peace!

That is not the assignment you have boy

Provide a pre - 1900s document using the word "oba" to address a particular Ọmọnọba

Provide the 1896 document not a rephrased quotation in a recent paper, let's see

You miscreants started it by asking TAO11 for a pre-1900s document which she has provided, now when asked to provide your own two days of sleepless nights and extensive research now still no answer


Below is a pre-1900s document showing Yoruba Kings referred to as Oba.
This is what you should have done

what clowns

Bini miscreants - Oba is a Bini word yoruba stole it and deceived everybody that it is their word, yoruba can't provide evidence of using the word before 1900
Tao11 - *provides documents showing yoruba used the word before 1900
Bini miscreants - Show us the particular oba that was referred to with the word 'oba'
Tao11- *provides evidence of Jayin, Ajagbo and Abipa*.. Show us your own evidence of bini using the word before 1900
bini miscreants - *no evidence* *wailing and sobbing* are you saying oba of benin was called something else before 1900

clowns

macof:
please be sticking to the matter at hand. provide a pre-1900s document showing bini use of the word "oba" to address any particular king of benin. we are not doing take it or leave it here. You can't make ridiculous wild claims that you can't defend

just to show you what you are expected to do
here is a document from 1882 by Elisée Reclus & A. H. Keane refering to yoruba kings as 'oba' [this is not even the earliest volume]
do the needful or just keep quiet next time to avoid unnecessary embarrassment

TAO11:
Let’s continue to wait for the pre-1900 written evidence of Benin usage of “oba”.

Hopefully we won’t wait till “thy kingdom come”.

See you soon @Afam4eva and everyone else!

TAO11:
Hey macof: Please hurry up and see something oo.

They’ve begin attaching post-1900 journal articles wherein the modern author used the word “Oba” while he alludes to pre-1900 events about the Benin king. Wonderful!

For the sake of the unsuspecting readers whom these fraudulent elements are bent to prey on, please note that no part of the actual QUOTATION FROM 1896 in the first attachment above shows the word “oba”.

Refer to my red horizontal highlights in the attachment below to notice the beginning and end of the actual quotation from 1896.

Watch out for the opening and closing quotation marks.

TAO11:
In addition to the earlier disgraceful damage from another disgruntled Bini, I’m becoming more curious as to why the standard of the challenge appears to dropping.

The arbitrary standard set by our original Benin entertainer was to present a NAMED king with the accompanying word “oba” from a pre-1900 writing.

But unfortunately so far, we haven’t been provided with either a pre-1900 writing which names a Benin king with the accompanying word “oba”; or even a pre-1900 work which simply uses the word “oba” in a Benin royal context. None!

Yet the Yorubas have met the arbitrary standard again and again on this same thread — and will even meet a stricter standard.

What a pity to those who claimed to have lent the word “oba” to the Yorubas?! Lol.

Other examples of such pre-1900 Yoruba use of “oba” are found in the writings of S. Johnson completed 1897 from which I have already culled four examples in my foregoing comment.

In other words, your boring lie that no Yoruba monarch used “oba” prior to the 1900s is already DEBUNKED and up in flames.

In sum: If you may have noticed @Afam4eva, our Benin entertainer could not provided even one shred of written evidence to demonstrate Benin’s use of “oba” even in the 1800s (which should exist actually) — let alone “600” years ago which was his actual specific baseless claim. Lol.

But despite my demolishing of his baseless claims, he somehow manages to remain deluded — pretending to be blind to the pre-1900 written evidence of “oba” for Yoruba monarchs.

Yet, he in contrast have continually failed to provide even one shred of any such pre-1900 written evidence of “oba” for Benin monarchs. Isn't this interesting?

My advice to you @Afam4eva like I have mentioned before is that you always request the evidence which should substantiate each of their many bogus claims.

First of all, your reply (despite a torturous search) fails to support your claim.

Rather than support your claim, you instead committed a logical fallacy — particularly “argumentum ex silentio”.

In other words, I can’t see it there, hence the Yorubas didn’t use it. Lol.

Turning the tables may help you see your logical fallacy even more clearly:

The traditional royal title of Benin kings, viz. “Omonoba” does not appear in that same listing you provided.

Does this then imply that this particular traditional Bini royal title was made up post 1938 — alluding to your own interesting logic? Lol.

In sum, you have simply borne testament, so far, to your failure to substantiate your bogus claim that Yoruba rulers do not use “oba” until in the 1900s.

Having demonstrated the logical fallacy of your intended argument, the following quotations show some pre-1900 statements which feature the word ”oba” for Yoruba traditional rulers:

Quoting word-for-word from Reverend Samuel Johnson’s magnum opus, the following are a few (four) examples of such use among the Yorubas:

(i) ”Several points of similarity may be noted between the ALAFIN and his Basorun. The ALAFIN is Oba (a king), he is Iba (a lord)." ~ p.71.

(ii) "From this incident, King ABIPA was nick-named Oba M'oro (the King who caught ghosts)." ~ p.166.

(iii) "And this has passed into proverb, "Oku dede ki a ko iwi wo Akesan, Oba Jayin te ori gba aso". (At the approach to Akesan of a company of chanting Eguguns, King JAYIN buried his head in a shroud.) Used of one who anticipates the inevitable." ~ p.171.

(iv) "Oaths were no more taken in the name of the gods, who were now considered too lenient and indifferent; but rather in the name of the King [i.e. King AOLE himself] who was more dreaded. "Ida Oba ni yio je mi" (may the King's sword destroy me) was the new form of oath!" ~ p.188.

Reference: Samuel Johnson, "The History of the Yorubas", Completed 1897, Published 1921.

Moreover, the specific Yoruba obas; who are mentioned or alluded to in the above old Yoruba sayings shown in the foregoing quotations from the 1897-completed work of S. Johnson; are dated by historians to have ruled in the 1500s, the 1600s, and the 1700s respectively.

Furthermore, the attachment below shows a page from an 1899-published work — driving home the very same point I’m making here.

Reference: Elisée Reclus & A. H. Keane; “Africa and Its Inhabitants", Vol. II, Published 1899, p.265, and which is largely a translation of the French original published in 1873.

While all the foregoing instantly debunks his claim of post-1900 Yoruba use, our Bini entertainer will yet not dare provide even a shred of evidence to substantiate even a mere 121 years old Benin use of “oba” — let alone dare substantiate his own baseless/wild claim of 600 years old written account of Benin’s use of “oba”. Isn’t God wonderful!?
.
.
.
Now to put all these into a clearer perspective for you @Afam4eva:

Each and every Yoruba kingdom actually use two distinct nouns in reference to its monarch:

(1) A common noun (“oba”) rendered in English as ”king” — lit. the “overlord”.

(2) A proper noun which generally varies from one Yoruba kingdom to another. E.g. “Ooni” for the Ife Kingdom; ”Alaafin” for the Oyo kingdom; etc.

D. M. Bondarenko makes this precise point about the two nouns when he wrote that:

““Ooni is Oba of Ife” or “the Oba of Oyo is Alaafin””

Reference: Dmitri M. Bondarenko, “Advent of the Second (Oba) Dynasty: Another Assessment of a Benin History Key Point”, History in Africa, 2003, Vol. 30 (2003), pp. 71.
.
.
.
This same culture of using two distinct nouns (a common noun and a proper noun) for the king is also found among the Binis as well as among the Itsekiris.

Among the Binis for example, the proper noun and traditional royal title is “Omonoba”; while ”oba” is the common noun, viz. “king” — Both are in use till date in Benin culture.

Among the Itsekiris in comparison to the above, the two nouns are “Olu” (similarly rendered in English as “king” — lit. the “premier” ) and ”ogiame”. Also, both are in use till date for the king among the Itsekiris.

The king’s designation in these cultures may therefore sometimes appear in full, thus showing both nouns, as follows:

Ooni Ife, Oba Adeyeye; or Omonoba N’Edo, Oba Ewuare; or Olu Iwere, Ogiame Ikenwoli; etc. (or some variation of this standard practice).

But sometimes, the designation may also appear in part as is seen in the listing which he himself has provided.

The listing does not feature the Yoruba kings’ use of ”oba”, just as the same listing does not feature the Bini king’s use of the royal title “Omonoba“ — which generally appears in his designation in addition to the word “oba” as already shown above.

Should we then conclude — in line with his fallacious logic — that the Bini royal title “Omonoba” was a post-1938 invention? Laughable, isn’t it?
.
.
.
Anyways, I would love to see if someday he will manage to yield to the earlier request which I will make again below:

(a) Can you show me (or cite me) an expert evidence which supports your claim that “no Yoruba traditional ruler used the title until the 1900s”?

(b) Can you show me (or cite me) a “600” year old written record of the use of the word “Oba” for a Benin monarch — since you claimed there are such old written records?

Cheers!

PS: @Afam4eva, notice the subtle attempt at derailing the discussion into an issue of colonial salaries, even though it is basic knowledge that the salaries must have been proportional to the average periodic revenue generated from the respective areas.

TAO11:
I’d like to pass a quick comment regarding one of the above comments on the word “Oba” as quoted below:



This comment is typical of disgruntled Bini Nairalanders as you may have noticed before.

A quick way of accessing the falsehood (or otherwise) of such statements in bold (which in their present form are no more than mere words put together by a random Nairalander) is to simply do the following:

Ask for the expert sources for each of the bogus claims they’ve made. For example: since they have the burden of proof having made those claims, then put the following request to them:

(a) Can you show me (or cite me) an expert evidence which supports your claim that ”no Yoruba traditional ruler used the Oba title until the 1900s”?

(b) Can you show me (or cite me) a “600” year old written record of the use of the word “Oba” for a Benin monarch — since you claimed there are such old written records?
.
.
.
You will receive one or more of the following as their reply to such requests:

(1) Silence, or (2) Cunning distractions (or shyness away) from the actual request, or (3) Excuses as to why they won’t provide the evidence, or (4) Insults.

Watch out particularly for (2) and (3). Peace!

This #EndSARS protest is beginning to spiral out of control. Joblessness is the main thing fueling it now. It's only those who don't have jobs that are still forceful about it. In other words, criminal elements are beginning to hijack it. The law-abiding citizens are beginning to think about their businesses/jobs.

You all heard how some people broke into a correctional facility in Edo State and freed prisoners. Soon, the criminal elements (who would be more than happy to see everywhere up in flames) would start breaking into shops and homes to steal and kill or to rob on the streets, using the lacuna left by police absence. Some ex-SARS operatives (who must be lacking money now that they're disbanded) will regroup and begin to rob. THEN, THE GOVERNMENT WILL SEE REASONS TO USE FORCE ON THE PROTESTERS AND WILL BE JUSTIFIED BY THE WORLD. This way, the youths would have lost all the gains of the protest.

WHAT TO DO?
I suggest that YOU back out of the protest for now. The Nigerian youths have made their presence felt and their voices heard. A wise performer leaves the stage when the ovation is high. Let's not allow bad eggs to spoil our achievements so that we can successfully build on this in subsequent months and years. Let's not give the Devil (that is, FG) a foothold against us (cf. Eph. 4:27).

the same youths that are crying about corruption, are the ones defending the corrupt politicians when ever EFCC make an arrest. I could remember how some youth were defending METU, I will not forget the way some youth celebrated when Jonah David Jang was released on bail for corrupt charges in Jos. Infact two of the youths lost their lives because of celebration.
Of recent, when FBI indicted Onyeama I know how youths defended him on social media even Uzor kalu was also defended by the same youths. With these attitudes of the youths, how do you expect the government to fight corruption?
Let me also remind you of what happened in Akwa ibom , when the governor gave 4million to protesters they rejected the money but their so called leader went back and collected the money. How do you think corruption fight will achieve it goals with these kind youths?
